Dept. of WTF -> Michael Dukakis taking stand as defense witness in trial of Tsarnaev friend http://t.co/KHR2dfxQp8

WTF, indeed! Former Democrat presidential candidate Michael Dukakis took the stand as a defense witness for Robel Phillipos, the friend of Boston Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Dukakis' wife Kitty worked with Phillipos' mom as a social worker, working with immigrants and refugees. Dukakis knew Robel since was a boy

The former governor and Democratic presidential candidate says he's a family friend.#Tsarnaev

So Mike Dukakis testified for defense of Marathon bomber buddy as "Friend of family". Wonder where he parked his tank?

Snicker.
Defense done questioning Dukakis quickly. Prosecution asks if Governor has any firsthand knowledge of what #Phillipos told FBI. No #wbz

Dukakis was a lawyer. But Robel didn't immediately say he needed legal help, advice, a lawyer. Not until he was arrested.
— Milton Valencia (@MiltonValencia) October 16, 2014
"For instance, do you know if he was upset because he lied to the FBI." Dukakis saying he knows nothing of interview. End of cross.

And then he said this:
Dukakis, on Phillipos: "He's always been law abiding. I don't remember Robel ever getting into trouble." #wbz #marathonbombing
— Carl Stevens (@carlwbz) October 16, 2014
Dukakis: "I'm very concerned..I think he's got a great future ahead of him. He's a thoughtful, intelligent guy." #wbz #marathonbombing
— Carl Stevens (@carlwbz) October 16, 2014
Dukakis: Phillipos' cooperation with #FBI is "an indication of his…in my opinion, innocence." #wbz #marathonbombing
— Carl Stevens (@carlwbz) October 16, 2014
Dukakis:"He didn't say,'I'm not going to talk to you' He was as forthcoming as he could be under the circumstances." #wbz #marathonbombing
— Carl Stevens (@carlwbz) October 16, 2014
Dukakis,to reporters outside the courthouse, describes Phillipos as "law abiding", believes "he has a bright future." #wbz #marathonbombing
— Carl Stevens (@carlwbz) October 16, 2014
Seriously? Dukakis gotta be Dukakis! Ugh.
